House GOP Hits The Launch Button On Its Most Corrupt Scheme

Talking Points Memo ^ | 1/25/23 | David Kurtz

[EBH]

Our First Look At Jim Jordan’s Bogus Subcommittee Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced the members of Rep. Jim Jordan’s already notorious subcommittee that is running interference for coup plotters, Trump, and his own members under federal investigation by targeting the Justice Department, FBI, and other “Deep State” players:

A few notes:

Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), whose phone was seized by the FBI as part of its Jan. 6 investigation and who has insisted he’s not too compromised to serve on the subcommittee, didn’t make the cut.

Democrats haven’t named their members of the subcommittee yet.

Politico reports that McCarthy plans to introduce a resolution to expand the number of subcommittee members and that Democrats will get a proportional increase in their representation on the subcommittee.

With a propagandistic name like the “Select Subcommittee on Weaponization of the Federal Government,” the subcommittee is tipping its hand, but that’s enough to fool some news outlets, our old friend Brian Beutler noted last week:

“...With a propagandistic name...”

Only Rats are allowed to come up with propaganda names, for example the Obama “Affordable Healthcare Act” which increased the cost of healthcare by 100 percent, or Puppet Biden’s “Inflation Reduction Act” which allows the government to borrow $1.7 trillion for Climate Change boondoggles and does NOTHING to reduce actual inflation.

Wouldn't surprise me if he has a PhD, considering the educational standards now. Would it you? <

Orwell's "Doublespeak", exactly.

[LeonardFMason]

obviously OVER THE TARGET based on this unhinged, and poorly written, screed.

I can’t read this kind of crap without hearing it in my head with a strong, caricature-like Soviet Russian accent—it’s exactly like reading Pravda from the 1950’s.

[Seruzawa]

Thanks. It’s a good reminder.

[tet68]

Couldn’t they at least wait until the committee does something first before using their propaganda-speak?

What, and let the conservatives set the narrative ??

[subterfuge]

LOL!

[LTC.Ret]

My word -— are there ANY buzzwords they missed???

It’s like seeing what get posted at the DUmpster without having to soil ones self.

Know thy enemy.
